Kunle Ayorinde, a former leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Ibadan North East local government area of Oyo State, says that some people are trying to ruin the name of Governor Seyi Makinde.
Ayorinde reportedly said this during an interview with reporters to explain why he switched parties to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ayorinde said that he was one of the people who helped Governor Makinde win in 2019, but he wasn’t paid for his work.
Ayorinde says he tried to meet with the governor to talk about his views, but the people in charge of Makinde’s government stopped him.
He said, “We worked for the party’s victory in 2023 with the hope that Governor Seyi Makinde would pay us back.”
“Sadly, instead of paying us, the people in charge made it impossible for us to see him (the governor) and tell him what we thought.
“Politics is work and you get paid for it.” Some people are trying to hurt Governor Seyi Makinde’s name, but he is a good leader.
The Oyo State House of Assembly, on the other hand, voted unanimously on Wednesday to support Governor Makinde and Speaker Adebo Ogundoyin, putting an end to rumors of an impeachment plot.
After the plenary session in Ibadan, where lawmakers reaffirmed their support for both the executive and legislative branches, the resolution was passed.
Majority Leader Sanjo Adedoyin, who made the motion, said the claims were not true.
He said the rumors were false, distracting, and had a political agenda.
Adedoyin also said, “The Assembly is still united and committed to its constitutional duties, and there has been no formal communication or process started in the chamber that suggests impeachment.”
Lawmakers also rejected rumors that the governor, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, and some legislators were involved in plots against each other.
The House said these claims were false and misleading.
